Question
i have cloock made by colonial mfg. no. on tag inside clock is 721081 . on face it says tempus fugit . how do i set the chimes

Answer
I don't understand your problem.  Is it one where the chimes don't work or they out of synchronization?  Also is your clock a three train one, chime, time and strike?  If it chimes what is the melody or melodies it should play?  Let me know, I am sure I can help you.  Incidentally tempus fugit refers to the style of the dial.  It is a latin phrase meaning "time flys".   Regards WJP
